Vrinkesh – The Divine Home

Nothing in the universe has given me more peace than sitting silently and talking to these idols of deities.  I don’t know if everyone would ever feel that connection or not but I have felt that quite deeply. May be because I don’t try to find any kind of solace in the materialistic world. I prefer to cry before god than before people.

I know what god does to us, does not always feel justified. You always have a right to deny the existance of any such energies. But there are times when you feel broken and helpless. Sitting beside those idols have given me inner strength to stand again and face the world. I would not say, I always find the answers of whaterver happens in life. But I do find patience and peace to accept and move on. I feel the kindness that makes me empathize even to the wrong doers. I don’t know if it makes me truly strong or weak but it surely helps to survive the next day and builds the patience for all the coming forward days.

I have started feeling more kind and forgiving towards people and animals. These spiritual practices also help me to swallow anger and reasonably respect people even when they hurt me instead of hurting them back. Peace has always multiplied when we keep our expectations low and have intention to be more fulfilling towards others.

Prayers have helped me to turn my focus from “I” to “you” and “them”. Its hard to condition the mind but practice can make us better at choosing the kindness even for the people who are not kind to us.

I know the journey of spirituality is long and vague. We all are in different phases of our journey. The strangest part is there is no map or a clear destination. But the good part is the peace is nourished with every next passing day when you choose to be kind and forgiving.

People who once got super angry and negative to you would see the patience and kindness you are showing towards them and that will change their attitude towards you. It will take time, but this can surely be achieved if you take charge of your emotions especially that of anger, grudges, hatred, ego, greed, vulnerability and all that put you or others down.

Its hard I know, but lets choose to be kind, forgiving, deattached yet caring and affectionating and lets let go off that ego that is binded with our identity.

Its easy to talk these things in words over bringing them in practice. We will fall for sure and we will make mistakes. But what we can do is self observation and rectify our mistakes with every next instance.

Forgiving is important, not just to others but to self also. Because guilt keeps us in a negative state of mind and our emotional stability is hampered. Thus, for all the mistakes that you have done, forgive yourself and forgive people who did wrong to you and lets do a fresh start with kindness……!!!!
